what to do??
 

To start: Last week I started doing the atkin's like its supposed to be done....veggies and meat...well more veggies. And the needle on my scale started moving. I lost 2 lbs last week. :carrot:

Now to my question: I have 1 lb to where I'll be 10 lbs from my goal weight. I know Atkin's suggests increasing carbs 5g's (once you're 10 lbs from goal) so you'll start losing slower or 2 lbs a week till you hit your goal. Well what if that's the rate of speed I'm in right now, on the induction phase. Should I increase my carbs or stay on the induction till I'm 5 lbs from my goal?
I'm still unsure about keeping my goal at 130 or to lower it to 125. I was 130 before gaining all the weight so I already know what I'll look like. But I was thinking of going down to 125 and build muscle so that I'll be 130. Does that make sense or does it sound weird. LOL :listen:

Same Boat :)
 

I'm about 7 lbs away from the "10 lbs to my goal" mark (losing around 2 lbs per week), and I have been wondering the same thing.

I have been doing induction quite a bit longer than 2 weeks and I'm a little nervous about adding 5 carbs per week at this point. I'm not sure if it is necessary... then again, I am not sure how many more carbs my body can take before my weight loss a) stalls or b) I gain.

I'll be following this thread to see what others think, I'm at a bit of a loss - good luck.

Rachel, if I'm reading your ticker right, sounds like the debate of 130 vs 125 is going to wait for a year or so -- congratulations! Happy & healthy 9 months to you!

LOL yes and thank you. I hope I don't goof up too badly and gain a whole bunch of weight like I've done before. I'll be back in a year. :)
